2021 Map of Johnson Mountain

About this map

West Forks serves as a primary settlement point in this Somerset County interior, positioned where local transport routes meet the waterways of the North Woods. The landscape is dominated by the prominent elevation of Johnson Mtn and the waters of Cold Stream, which includes the notable Cold Stream Falls. This 2021 topographic survey illustrates a network of forestry and access roads like Capital Rd and Enchanted Mountain Rd, which snake through the timberlands between high peaks and low-lying wetlands such as Johnson Bog. Water is a defining element of the area, from the high-elevation Mountain Ponds to the drainage of Salmon Stream. The map captures the contemporary balance of recreation and logging infrastructure, tracing the paths of Old Rte 201 through a region shaped by glacial ponds and steady-flowing brooks.
